Need help with Shell collection

[milpen]

Hi, just joined, and saw your post, I am in a similar position, only their my own collection, haven't touched them since 1997, but I due have do have some knowlege if I can just get the brain in remember mode. Now to your proplem, first thing is to see if she had and good shell books, if not I would recomend R. Tucker Abbotts, Compendium of Seashells, Its not cheap but well worth the price. Take whatever time you can and identfy the shell read the discrïption and mark the page list how many etc.  Don't sell them without knowing what your selling, there are some shells that are worth thousands. Its not an easy task, but you might find you fall in love with them and only part with the extras, then again you may find a jewel to sell.  If your interested I can give you info. to get pricing. Good Luck  

If anyone out there knows of softwear with the shells already listed for inventory please let me know. Milpen or email <!-- e --><a href="mailto:mp1601@live.com">mp1601@live.com</a><!-- e --> I would greatly appreciate it. I really need to inventory thousands of specimen shell i collected during 15yrs of owning a shell shop. It's prety sad that I've lost this knowlege. I'm trying to get it back, thanks in advance for any help.
